Students will use multiple sets of data to find out why the population of organisms in Yellowstone National Park changed so drastically. Students will use the data to make a line graph and then create a sequence of events for what occurred in Yellowstone National Park after the wolves were removed from the ecosystem. This investigation is based on actual events. Topics include: PopulationsCarrying CapacityHuman Impact/Conflict

Need a quick assessment or practice on ecological relationships? This 12 question resource provides 3 different scenarios of relationships: 2 with data tables, 1 with line graphs. Students will look at the provided data to determine the ecological relationship and how each organism is affected.

Teaching group behaviors? This worksheet compares the reproductive and survival rates of animals that use herding vs animals that do not. There are 9 multiple choice questions and 2 open response. Students' main goal is to see if there is a benefit to herding. Students will: Compare dataMake calculationsUse data to form a conclusion

This two-page activity in on the benefits of orcas group hunting. Students will need to compare the energy cost of hunting vs the energy gained from the prey. They will then need to decide on the most optimal prey for the group of orcas. Students are asked to explain using evidence: 1) Optimal prey 2)Individual hunting vs Group Hunting. I teach this lesson after covering Group Behaviors in my Ecology Unit in Biology.

This is a 1-2 day investigation that revolves around the predator-prey relationship of the lynx and snow hare. I use this activity after going over ecological relationships. Students will be tasked with helping a wildlife photographer pick the best day, time and location to capture the lynx hunting the snow hare. They will need to look across 4 sets of data and create a park map for the photographer to follow including a key for the map. They must provide evidence to explain their choice to the

I created this Google Slide to show my students more examples of group behavior. We discuss as we move along and model a few behaviors ourselves for some added fun. Mentioned in the 7 slides are: FlockingHerdingSwarmingSchoolingGroup HuntingMigration
